One of the most challenging tasks facing any organisation that has fallen victim to fraud, white-collar crime, or corruption that leads to a financial loss is how to recover the stolen funds. This is a task best suited to experts who can trace assets and help you locate and recover funds and limit your financial damage.

The globalization of business has helped facilitate the movement of assets, and funds can be transferred around the world instantaneously. Unfortunately, it is relatively easy to set up complex corporate structures to hide the true ownership of assets.

This is where CRI Group™ comes in. Our investigators are trained to uncover hidden funds and assets and follow the money trail no matter how complex it may be. Whether taking legal action to recover property from a former business partner, seeking the return of funds misappropriated by corrupt government officials, or trying to enforce a legal judgment awarding financial damages, our experts will work on your behalf to trace your funds or assets.

ABOUT INSURANCE FRAUD

Every type of insurance is vulnerable to insurance fraud. Insurance fraud cases are often committed by opportunists – such as claim fraud, where perpetrators invent or exaggerate a claim; or application fraud, where they deliberately or recklessly provide false information when applying for insurance. There are well-known cases of highly organised criminal gangs with money-making enterprises based on insurance fraud.

Insurance fraud cases cover a wide range of schemes and crimes, intended to enrich the fraudsters at the expense of insurance providers and other innocent victims. With the enormous liability presented by insurance fraud, every organisation should address the risk in their due diligence and fraud prevention programs.

TYPE OF INSURANCE FRAUD

The 10 most common types of insurance fraud include:

  • Car damage
  • Staged home fires
  • Health insurance billing fraud
  • Storm fraud
  • Faked death
  • Abandoned house fire
  • Car accident
  • Renter’s insurance
  • Unnecessary medical procedures
